About Us
Every teen should be able to see themselves reflected in the books they read. Unfortunately, many LGBTQIAP+ teens are not able to. YA Pride is dedicated to promoting and discussing LGBTQIAP+ Young Adult literature in order to change that.
What We Do
We publish quarterly issues on topics related to LGBTQIAP+ YA. These issues contain author interviews, guest posts, booklists, criticism/reviews, and more. We also publish occasional standalone pieces in between these issues. We maintain a LGBTQIAP+ YA masterlist divided by identity (we are currently updating it!). We are also active on Twitter.
